A food market is a working system with local rhythms. Blocking stalls, photographing without permission or sampling without intent can turn curiosity into friction.
Why this matters
Watch how regular customers move, ask before photographing, carry suitable payment and buy in quantities you can use safely.
Make the plan usable
Balance curiosity with food safety, cultural respect and clear communication. Record the details that would be difficult to recover during a delay, and leave enough margin to change the plan when the evidence changes.
Questions worth answering
- What is seasonal?
- How are needs communicated?
- What is the local context?
- Which price is complete?
Verify before travel
